You have presented a self-refuting argument. There must be government regulation. How do we know? Because through our individual choices we can eliminate the threat.
Also, an ahistorical hit job on Mr. Moses. Don't believe everything that race hustlers tell you on the internet.
Fair point. Obviously you would need sources much more reliable than I.
I'd suggest that whenever we have someone we'd like to accuse of racism we look to a variety of sources to confirm it before doing the deed. I don't think Moses had the intention that you describe, and I don't see that his underpasses were any shorter than the norm in his day. Nor were buses of his day too tall to drive under them. But it's easy to casually join the crowd and look down upon those who came before us, even as they accomplished much more than we will.
I do agree that AI is a problem, especially in education. At some point, we have to answer the question "What are people for?" and that answer won't come from technology. Religion does, but who wants to be accused of that?
Yeah, you're doing some valuable work in these areas and it would be good for it to have a wider audience. I know both of FPR's editors, (Jason Peters, print) and Jeff Bilbro (online), and can put in a word if needed. Jeff now teaches at Grove City and is therefore a bit easier to meet up with than Jason, who's now at Hillsdale, I believe.
Speaking of FPR, have you ever read Will Hoyt's book "The Seven Ranges," about the cultural impact of various things that developed in Eastern Ohio? Being a Youngstown guy I think you'd find it fascinating, and even more so after having a measure of Kingsnorthian-type awareness under your belt.
Hoyt has mostly been an essayist -- The Seven Ranges is his first and only book so far. I think you'll find it very interesting. It started out as a long two-part essay he wrote for New Oxford Review nine or ten years ago, which he then expanded into the book.
I'll have to check out that video. I don't know much about Youngstown -- most of my familiarity with Ohio is with the Steubenville-Cadiz-Coshocton corridor, and also some of the area just east of Columbus.
Jeff Bilbro replied and said he'd be happy to have something from you.
The Amish are a good example of this philosophy. I'm not sure which camp I'm in, I like Elons idea of high universal income. One of the main reasons I believe HUI can work is because humanoid robots are becoming a reality.

Thanks for reading.
Am I supposed to believe anonymous others on the Internet, instead? I came upon Moses in Langdon Winner's "Do Artifacts Have Politics?" btw.

Good stuff as always. I've added the Havers book to my Christmas list.
Ever think about submitting something to The New Atlantis? This sort of thing is right up their alley.
Thanks Rob. I had not previously considered submitting to them, but I will now. I'd also like to send something to FPR.

Thanks for the encouragement and willingness to put in a word. Once I have something drafted, I can let you know!
I will check out Hoyt. I'd never heard of him.
The other week I watched this YT mini documentary on Youngstown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqu9ibhrlXo
It was hard not to watch it without getting upset.

Always good to hear from you. They are not becoming a reality. I'm not buying what Elon is selling (he's always selling something).
